Feminist writer, campaigner, and one of Standard Issue’s firm favourites, Laura Bates’s latest non-fiction is called The New Age of Sexism: How the AI Revolution is Reinventing Misogyny. Anyone fretting about the good old age of sexism, fret ye not, because it is still alive and kicking and very much fuelling and influencing the new one. And it’s impossible to stress enough how critical a moment right now is: this isn’t futuristic, distant and improbable amplified version of the same old, same old, it’s already affecting women and girls, and minority groups.

Our Mick chats to Laura about that, about the sheer scale of what’s happening, the regressive nature of breakneck “progress”, the problem with ‘outliers’, and about how men’s wants and wallets trump women’s rights and safety every time.

The New Age of Sexism: How the AI Revolution is Reinventing Misogyny is published by Simon & Schuster on May 15, but available for pre-order now.
